    I got one 27th Dec. It is a good plan to book No mans hut as it gives some extra area to hunt the 2 private blocks. I had early April last year but had to give it away as the man with the 4 W D pulled out at the last minute. I do have a 4 W D but it is our only vehicle and cannot leave the wife and kids without transport. So this year they are all coming as well. Like it or not.

    You wont need 4wd to get to Ruahine hut, however you may need it to get to No Mans and will definitely need it to reach the White Hut as the road is very rutted just past No Mans and 300m from White Hut it gets very boggy. Had to use the winch here a couple of years ago.

    Payment for No Mans Hut only allows you the right to hunt the No Mans Block only.

    Cheers

    When i booked No mans last year they were only taking bookings for No mans not Whites as they were going to court to get rid of the squatter. So was told i could hunt both blocks. When i booked this year again told only bookings taken for No mans, so i assumed the same deal. But i have been known to be wrong before. Many times.

    All good mate.

    BTW the over stayer has gone and so has the gate across the road.

    Well at least he wasn't anywhere to be seen when I was there in July.

    No Mans hut was Clean and Tidy (because that's how we left it) and it had a good stock of wood (mostly because we took plenty with us).

    Cheers
